You forget to add in the fact the clip starts with his hands on the round, so this “3 sec reload” clearly is false information. At best, I could see around a 5.2, in non combat conditions, maybe a 5.8 in combat conditions (while stationary), and moving in combat conditions 6.2 secs.
Ace crews by far are the most potent thing you can do in game, and the Russian tanks get screwed the most at top tier because of the fixed auto load speed(since it’s the slowest top tier reload possible). And no matter your crew level or expert level, it gets no better
Did you even read a word I wrote? The reload was at 3.08 seconds WITHOUT the bulkhead, and from other videos of it opening and closing, it takes roughly 1.2 seconds, so yes if hes ready to grab that round as soon as the bulkhead is open then it’s a 4.3 seconds reload. The lengths you are willing to go to to keep up your “russian tanks get screwed” narrative is ridiculous.
The video may be in low quality, but if you look frame by frame then you can see he has his hand in the air roughly where the bulkhead would be if it was closed, and that he is in the first frames of the video reaching for the locking mechanism to free the round, after which he starts pulling it out.
And blame the russian engineers for their slow reload, they get the IRL reload rate for when the carouselle has to grab a round two steps to the side of it’s current position, which is completely accurate with how they are stored IRL since APFSDS aren’t allowed to be stored side-to-side in the autoloader due to safety reasons. Hell, the T-80BVM can’t even carry more than 14 3BM59/60 rounds in it’s autoloader IRL due to them simply not fitting next to each other.
Gun centering would also count for most vehicles not just tank with human loader.
If Gaijin does model that up. It would give a slight head up to enemy. Because they will be certain that you are still reloading or just reloaded.
Several of my soldiers have loaded a round in under 4 seconds.
Conditions:
Stationary, with foreknowledge of what round will subsequently be loaded
Timer starts as soon as the gun fires, from moment of gun firing to the loader announcing “UP!” (gun is loaded, he is out of the way and it is ready to fire) - at which point the timer stops.
I personally can load in under 5 seconds rather casually, with very little effort. Note that I pause to simulate ammunition door opening in this static test.
In this clip, he loads in 4.77 secs (timer on the phone in vid started 0.06 secs after he started), so really it was 4.83, with the blast door open, stationary, and knowing what will be loaded.
4.83secs + 1.2 sec blast door opening time + 0.5 sec combat conditions (I’m being really generous here), + moving / not moving.
So in a perfect combat condition world, while stationary the reload would be about 6.53 secs.
Care to attempt to dispute this further? Because the only “4 sec” reload I’ve seen, which was 4.26 secs, was a lap load or “ready round” in the hands of the loader.
This was not the fastest I could load. It is simply a demonstration that casually and consistently loading from stationary is easily done in under 5 seconds. I could have been faster to press the knee switch to open the ammo door, I could have been faster to arm the gun. I could certainly have been faster to throw the round into the breach. In fact, I took the time to carefully place the dummy round on the gun instead of slamming it down and in because unlike the service round - this must be done repeatedly and I didn’t wish to damage the training equipment.
The time for the ammo door opening was included in the video as I stated - I paused to allow time for it to open. It doesn’t take 1.2 seconds when the engine is running and hydraulics are maintained. It should take approximately 1 second to fully open. I did not grab from the furthest ammo slot, I grabbed from the closest one. You can assume less than 1/2 second for the door to partially open.
No, you’re being intentionally obtuse about this. Open your mind and look at what is being shown to you. What is the point of replying when everyone else here can see that you’re wrong?
Because I have a point. Just as you can say whatever you like, im watching the videos, and no loader has been sub 4.0 secs like people claim. Most reload in between 6.1 and 8 secs usually.
This tank is used at Fort Moore (Previously Fort Benning) for trainees. It is used and abused almost daily without proper maintenance periods or intervals between live fire exercises. It was used for more than a decade and a half without a single day zero reset. In spite of the abuse, the ammo door opened in no more than 1.2s and closed in approximately 1s flat. This is an absolute worst case example where the tank has a worn out hydraulic pump & system as compared to a pristine brand new tank’s.
You have quite literally ignored every single thing that has been stated by the people who actually crew the vehicle. No amount of denying this is going to suddenly make you “correct”. What is the point of lying to yourself in front of an audience that can see you’re full of it?
There is no need, what has been said is more than sufficient to disprove his absurdity. If he needs further proof he can simply be referred back to this post going forward.
This is all beside the point that it is mandatory for crewman to load in under 6 seconds simply to pass OSUT training at Fort Moore. In-game the untrained crew is loading in 6.5, it should be mandatory that an untrained crew loads in 6s flat.
An ace abrams crew should have like a 5.75 sec reload, I think that’s plenty fair, and is clearly faster than anything I have yet to see.
Also, it’s funny that you think I have not laid my own eyes on these systems. For you all you know I could have been a crew member.
And? How does this support the 1 sec reload you say abrams have?
You clearly are sitting still, you have your handle ready to depress the handle, you look to see exactly what shell you’ll need, you depress the handle, grab the shell (blast door was already open), then flip it and insert it, ram it in, pull up the lever and yell up.
I don’t see how this shows blast door opening speed either.
Show another video of you sub 4 secs with the blast door closed in combat conditions, because that’s how WT models it.
Please, reference the linked post. The proof is literally right there, on video. A casual 4.77s reload with a pause for the door to open and gentle laying of the round on the gun breach. It cannot get any easier.
Don’t worry I’ve highlighted the clearly open ammo rack. “Casual”
4.77 + 0.06 as the timer was started after, add in 1.0-1.2 secs for the blast door to actually open = your time.
Also I added a photo of the blast door :)
I already did the math for you. But here it is again. ^
Maybe they should add a key bind to keep the ammrack open to have 5.5 sec reloads, but if it’s hit the whole vehicle explodes, and if it’s closed it’s a 6.15 sec reload.
